It seems like this thread has become derailed.
The OP asks about an older convert marrying.
My answer is yes, same as anyone else. After prayer, seeking advice from a priest or older long time Catholic, it seems God’s Will is marriage, then pursue it.
If it’s God’s Will, you’ll find a suitable spouse. Put yourself out there. If you meet a potential, ask her out. What’s the worse that can happen? She rolls her eyes, laughs in your face and tells you to get lost? If that’s the case, thank God He’s answered right away that this woman isn’t for you! You wouldn’t want to marry or even befriend someone like that!
Join activities that will put you where other Catholics will know you exist. I’m not necessarily limiting it to women. Maybe another man or married woman will know of a suitable woman and introduce you.
You needn’t decide whether to marry or remain single. Since you’re already a single-in-the-world, work on becoming a saint. Keep an eye out for that woman, so if she’s out there, you’ll be a holier man.
If you were mistaken about marriage, no worries. If you are working out your own salvation, God is pleased with you. Be content in whichever state you are.
